Daniel James has been one of the better players for Man United during the 2019-20 season but the players might be a doubt for the Man United vs Liverpool clash next weekend.
James was brought in during the summer and during the first few games, the Welsh international has managed to cement his place in the first XI for the Red Devils.
But the winger was on the receiving end of a nasty tackle while playing for Wales on international duty and now there are doubts about his participation in the clash vs Liverpool.
Daniel James was clattered by Vida on the head and immediately the youngster fell on the ground and looked unconscious. Immediately everyone knew that it was a nasty injury and the doctors rushed onto the pitch.

“There was a few tackles flying in but you always expect it in these games,” he said.
“I’m fine. I think he just caught me in the head but I didn’t get knocked out, fortunately.”
This means Daniel James is fit enough to start the Man United vs Liverpool clash next weekend and this will indeed be great news for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since the manager is already dealing with a number of injury concerns.
